Today's Assignments and Memory Work
The new assignments for today:
SPELLING: 4 Pictures and Sentences; Test 10 Friday
MEMORY: Psalm 145:15-16
MATH: 176-178
Older assignments that are still on the board:
READING: AR
SOCIAL STUDIES: Current Event (green) - due tomorrow
County Quiz #19 & 20 (Ashland/Ashland & Iron/Hurley) - tomorrow
Worksheet "Where in the World?"
RELIGION: Unit 2 Test Worksheet - open book - may use Religion book and Bible
SCIENCE: Health, Chapter 5, Questions #1-30, pages 168-169 - due next Tuesday
Regarding Memory work: The Memory Quiz we took yesterday did not go so well for a number of students. I have given them the option of retaking the quiz. My only request is that a parent needs to sign the first quiz before I will give them the make-up quiz. I would especially encourage the students who got a "D" or an "F" to do it over. The Bible verses will be split in the same spots, but I will mix up the letter choices so that they're not just memorizing the order of the letters.
Several students have asked if I would put the memory verses on the blog. Since that is a reasonable request, and also very good thinking, here it is!

Things to Look For
Today your student should have brought home some more information about the upcoming Book Fair and connected activities. We start Book Fair Bingo next Monday. That's always an exciting time for the class.
Sometime this week a sheet will come home with your assigned time for a parent/teacher conference. If you find your time won't work, let me know and we'll reschedule.
On Friday, your child will be bringing home his or her report card, an AR report for 1st Quarter, and a sign-up sheet for this year's Christmas service. Our Christmas services will be the Sunday before Christmas, December 22, at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
The 4th Graders got an assignment from Mr. B. in Health class today that will be due next Tuesday. Many students were working hard to finish much of it today. A few, however, heard "next Tuesday" and decided that meant they didn't need to worry about it now. Ask your student how much of it they already have done.
We had our Unit 2 Memory Quiz this morning. The students also have a Unit 2 Religion Test worksheet that is "open book." They may use their Religion books and Bibles to complete it. A new memory sheet (yellow) for Unit 3 was in their mailboxes today. The verse for Lesson 25 is due tomorrow.
We learned some new math concepts today: factors and products, commutative property, identity property, and zero property. In case you need a review, factors are the numbers being multiplied. The product is the answer of a multiplication problem. For example, in the equation 3 x 4 = 12, 3 and 4 are the factors, and 12 is the product. The commutative property simply means the equation can be flip-flopped: 3 x 4 is the same as 4 x 3. The identity property means that whenever you multiply by 1, the product is the other number. The zero property means that no matter what you multiply by 0, the product is 0.

Today's Events
Today was our Fall Festival celebration. We were amazed by the creativity of some of the costumes. We began our parade in the gym with prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to have fun with our friends. You have blessed out school so much with stellar students, awesome teachers, and great families.
Please be with us as we leave today. Watch over us and keep us safe.
Help us to remember the difference between make-believe and real. You are our real God and we praise your name today and always.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
After the prayer we took turns by class "parading" around the gym. Then we had some fun with "The Hokey Pokey," "The Bunny Hop," and "YMCA." For many 4th graders, it was their first time ever of doing "The Bunny Hop." Finally, it was back to the classroom to enjoy some goodies. If you'd like to see some pictures, check out the 1st Grade blog. Mrs. B. is very good at including pictures.
Tomorrow is another busy day. We will be having our usual Spelling Test in the morning. After lunch we will be getting together with our Chapel families to go raking. DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR RAKE!!! If your name isn't on it, we'll put it on at school. If you have leaf claws, you might send them along, too. If you haven't signed the permission slip, please do so!
Monday we will be having our Unit 2 Memory Quiz. This will be a quiz over all of the verses on the purple study sheet. I have an example of the Unit 1 Quiz on a previous post in case you are curious.

Science Make-up Test Thursday
The results of the Science test on electricity were less than stellar. This is disappointing since the class spent a week reviewing information and filling in review sheets. The test should have come home today. Ask to see it. The test, along with the study sheet, will assist you in helping your child study for the make-up test Thursday. Since the end of the quarter is Friday, this will be a great opportunity to boost the Science grade.
